FEATURES AND BENEFITS

Enabling the Future of Connected Devices

Expandable and upgradable architecture: VxWorks can adapt and evolve to match changing market requirements, your needs, and technology advancements. The VxWorks core kernel enables upgrades and new feature additions to be accomplished faster and with minimal retesting of the entire system.

Broad connectivity: The modular nature of VxWorks allows you to add connectivity and networking capabilities and bring many previously disconnected devices online without reworking the core of your embedded software.

Uncompromising security and safety: For over 30 years, VxWorks has been the foundation that enables leading innovators in aerospace and defense, automotive, industrial, and medical industries to create differentiated, certifable safety- and security-critical systems.

ARINC 653–compliant platform: Wind River® VxWorks 653 Platform is fully compliant with ARINC Specifcation 653 and can also be deployed in programs requiring alignment with the Future Airborne Capabilities Environment (FACE™) Technical Standard. VxWorks 653 3.0 Multi-core Edition adds support for the latest multi-core processors and provides full virtualization support for ARINC 653, VxWorks, Linux, and Windows® on a shared multi-core processor. In addition, commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) certifcation evidence for RTCA DO-178C and EUROCAE ED-12C Design Assurance Level (DAL) A is provided with VxWorks 653, eliminating the risk of creating and certifying an operating system and related tools for each new project.

MILS support for multilevel secure systems: Wind River VxWorks MILS Platform implements the Multiple Independent Levels of Security (MILS) system architecture that enables you to safely and securely share the same hardware platform, helping reduce development costs and size, weight, and power (SWaP) requirements.

Java runtime support: In addition to existing C/C++ application support, Wind River Micro Runtime provides an optimized embedded Java runtime engine for VxWorks to deploy Java applications specifcally for embedded devices that have a smaller footprint requirement on resource-constrained devices. IoT developers can use Micro Runtime to design applications, providing increased development effciency and code portability; and to provide over-the-air bug fixes, saving money and even generating new areas of revenue.

Lower risk and faster integration of third-party technology: VxWorks’ unmatched ecosystem of hardware and software technology partners enables you to differentiate your product offerings with leading-edge features and capabilities and bring your devices to market faster while reducing risks and development costs.
